 I have completed this activity as a way to keep an organised pre-production schedule.  I've achieved this by using a table on a word document to allocate what will need to be done, how long it should take and whether or not something else needs to happen before it can be started (I've chosen to complete this on word as it was the easiest way for me to understand). This action plan will ensure that my project will remain controlled and collected and will unlikely cause any unnecessary issues.
